OBESITY IS A TROJAN HORSE

One of my college professors often used to make these comments: Take your breakfast alone; share your lunch with someone; offer your dinner to your enemy. I once replied back that the kind of food they served in our college canteen, all the three were to be offered to enemies only. Jokes apart, common belief and habit for most of us to shed extra weight is to starve, and deprive nutrition and energy to the body for its activities. In any case, starvation is not the salvation for permanent weight loss. Sooner or later, when we get bored, we get back to our sedantary life style , without being aware of the hazards of obesity.

Obesity is a Trojan horse. It brings a battalion of ailments which are most detrimental to our health. To name a few, following are the complications that could arise out of obesity and overweight.

1. Hyper tension
2. Diabetes (Tpe 2 )
3. Coronary heart disease
4. Stroke
5. Gall bladder disease
6. Osteo Arthritis
7. Asthma
8. Sleep Apnea and respiratory problems
9. Some cancers ( endometrial, breast cancer and colon )
10.High Level of cholesterol
11.Kidney failure, blindness ( due to diabetes which is the result of being obese)

This is an unending list, where each of the above ailments are capable of creating other complications, where no medication without side effect, could be comfortably used. Prevention is the best cure for diabetes and obesity. How to achieve this ?

My friend, who was obese, went to a doctor, along with me. The doctor was a friend to both of us and he smiled at my friend, looking at his obese condition. He said that it was very simple to lose weight! My friend became very interested and asked him to suggest the way. Doctor seriously suggested that my friend had to shake his head, may be for ten times a day, from left to right and he would lose weight ! My friend became very curious and asked him " What is the idea ? " The doctor calmy replied,
"whenever someone offers anything to eat, shake your head from left to right "
Simple, isn't it ? It is simple, but requires discipline, which is not simple. But, then, habit makes discipline. Avoiding junk food and fast food must be done with a discipline.

Besides, exercise is the best option to increase muscular mass and reduce fat. It also increases the metabolic rate and ensures high level of energy and enthusiasm. Good
nutritional products, which supplement / replace regular food may be used, once a day to check weight increase, reduce weight, increase energy levels and support the system to heal ailments, which are mostly nutrition related.
